Turnover rates of regenerated forests challenge restoration efforts in the Brazilian Atlantic forest
Natural forest regeneration is a key component of global ecosystem restoration scenarios. Regenerated forests, however, may not persist and a better understanding of the drivers of forest persistence is critical to ensure the success of restoration efforts. We used 35 years of detailed land cover maps to quantify forest regeneration and study the drivers of regenerated forest persistence and longevity in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, a restorati…
Achieving sustainable water and land use systems in highly developed tropical landscapes
Water quality degradation from human related activities has become a pressing global issue, putting water security at risk around the world. Land use decisions can severely degrade stream water quality, compromising water supply and increasing water treatment costs. Here we examine changes in water quality over 20 years and their association with land use, urbanization, and sewage treatment in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. We also consider how …
The forest transition in São Paulo, Brazil: Historical Patterns and Potential Drivers

Land-use dynamics influence estimates of carbon sequestration potential in tropical second-growth forest
Many countries have made major commitments to carbon sequestration through reforestation under the Paris Climate Agreement, and recent studies have illustrated the potential for large amounts of carbon sequestration in tropical second-growth forests. However, carbon gains in second-growth forests are threatened by non-permanence, i.e. release of carbon into the atmosphere from clearing or disturbance. The benefits of second-growth forests require…
Biomass resilience of Neotropical secondary forests
Carbon sequestration potential of second-growth forest regeneration in the Latin American tropics
Models reveal the high carbon mitigation potential of tropical forest regeneration.
Synchrony, compensatory dynamics, and the functional trait basis of phenological diversity in a tropical dry forest tree community: Effects of rainfall seasonality
Interspecific variation in phenology is a key axis of functional diversity, potentially mediating how communities respond to climate change. The diverse drivers of phenology act across multiple temporal scales. For example, abiotic constraints favor synchronous reproduction (positive covariance among species), while biotic interactions can favor synchrony or compensatory dynamics (negative covariance). We used wavelet analyses to examine phenolog…
Sources of anthropogenic fire ignitions on the peat-swamp landscape in Kalimantan, Indonesia
Climate, landowner residency, and land cover predict local scale fire activity in the Western Amazon
High-yield oil palm expansion spares land at the expense of forests in the Peruvian Amazon
High-yield agriculture potentially reduces pressure on forests by requiring less land to increase production. Using satellite and field data, we assessed the area deforested by industrial-scale high-yield oil palm expansion in the Peruvian Amazon from 2000 to 2010, finding that 72% of new plantations expanded into forested areas. In a focus area in the Ucayali region, we assessed deforestation for high- and smallholder low-yield oil palm plantati…

Deforestation driven by urban population growth and agricultural trade in the twenty-first century
Forest transitions: An introduction
Agricultural intensification and changes in cultivated areas, 1970–2005
Does the intensification of agriculture reduce cultivated areas and, in so doing, spare some lands by concentrating production on other lands? Such sparing is important for many reasons, among them the enhanced abilities of released lands to sequester carbon and provide other environmental services. Difficulties measuring the extent of spared land make it impossible to investigate fully the hypothesized causal chain from agricultural intensificat…
The Teotihuacan Ballgame and the Beginning of Time
This paper proposes a reinterpretation of the Tepantitla murals long known as the Tlalocan. Taking into account the numerous representations of different kinds of ballgames on these walls, along with the instances of the Maya glyph forpu,puorpu[h], or “Place of the Reeds” (i.e. Tollan), this paper argues that this mural represents Teotihuacan as prototypical civilized city associated with the beginning of time and the calendar. Further evidence i…
The Organization of Mental Health Services in Cuba
This paper reviews the Cuban mental health system from a descriptive organizational perspective. It focuses on (a) the in terface between mental health, public health, and the socio- political structure; (b) inpatient treatment and rehabilitation programs; (c) the use of social networks in support of the dis charged patient; (d) community care, including descriptions of sectorization and dispensarization systems; and (e) primary to tertiary preve…
